Former Texas Longhorns stars Michael Huff and Dan Neil have landed among good company. In fact, both made the 2025 ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame.

Huff was Texas’ first Jim Thorpe Award winner and was among the standouts on the 2005 national championship roster. He was also the recipient of the defensive MVP honor after the 2006 Rose Bowl win over USC. Neil was a two-time All-American and 1996 Outland Trophy finalist.
